1. Everyone Is Going To Fall In Love With Jimmy McGill
Jimmy's superpower is the ability to move his mouth as fast as his brain. As well as being a sublime negotiator, he uses his superior imagination and wit to fire off genuinely memorable insults with scornful zeal. His conscience and humanity were confirmed when he risked his own life to save the skater twins. He's loyal to Chuck even though his brother's problems are seriously exacerbating his own. Contrary to the assumptions you made while watching Breaking Bad, it seems he's not a dead loss when it comes to the opposite sex. The cigarette scene outside the Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill offices revealed that Jimmy might just have a way with women after all. Jimmy does want money, but not because of a cheap sense of greed, he just understands that life has to be paid for. Odenkirk believes it's past experience rather than a dark core which powers the metamorphosis of the character: "A lot of cynics, I would argue, or people who are called cynics, are truly idealists who just had their feelings hurt." There's a long way to go before you find out who Jimmy really is, but with Gilligan describing him as "a rascal with a heart of gold", he's likely going to be flawed rather than monstrous. Which means you'll be a lot more forgiving when the time comes for him to cross the line and become Saul. Have you been watching Better Call Saul? What's made it must-watch TV for you so far?
